The End of Technology

Ning Zi believes that awarding him the Turing Award this year is a humiliation, and the International Computer Association's review committee has no choice but to include Ning Zi in this year's award. After a long discussion, this year’s Turing Award was supposed to be awarded to computer scientists who have contributed to the development of artificial intelligence.

In 2016, the Turing Award was awarded to the father of the World Wide Web, and in 2017, it was awarded to scientists in the field of chip research. These are nothing, they are normal operations.

But a big thing has happened in the artificial intelligence community in the past two years.

AlphaGo's sudden emergence first defeated the world's top ten Korean Go player Li Shi in March 2016, and then defeated the world's number one Chinese Go player Xia Ke in May 2017, which directly triggered the Countless people around the world continue to pay attention to and discuss artificial intelligence technology.

This is another major leap forward in the field of artificial intelligence after IBM's Deep Blue defeated human chess players. It is also a chess field where many people believe that machines will never surpass humans. Under such circumstances, it is unreasonable not to award the 2018 Turing Award to computer scientists in the field of artificial intelligence.

There is no way, Alpha Dog’s social impact is too great.

However, after it was confirmed that the Turing Award in 2018 will be awarded to scientists who study artificial intelligence, let alone the turbulence algorithm that came out of the blue, the almost unparalleled intelligent voice assistant on the M10 made this year's award presentation rather embarrassing. .

It would be really unjustifiable if it was not awarded to Ning Zi. The winner who has already been confirmed is not too embarrassed either.

After all, the smart voice assistant function of M10 has had as much impact as AlphaGo in the months after its release by Youwei Group.

Various videos of people talking to mobile phones on the Chinese Internet are not only disseminated in China, but have long been moved to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter by many people, and have received countless likes and retweets. Not to mention that the Turing Award review committee received so many letters of recommendation with Ning Zi’s name on it.

This is a push of strong artificial intelligence products directly from the laboratory into the lives of ordinary people. The impact on people's lives is naturally not comparable to AlphaGo, which has only shown its talents in the field of Go for the time being.

This is very embarrassing. Other achievements can be said, but this kind of achievement that has caused widespread repercussions in society cannot be ignored. It cannot be said that one or two of the review committee are blind.

Therefore, if this year’s Turing Award is not awarded to Ning Zi, the achievements of the other three scientists will not be considered significant enough.

It doesn't matter if you act rogue in other aspects, but for a global award, if you are indifferent to the technology that changes the world, it will have a great impact on the credibility of the award.

After all, highly educated people like scientists are not easy to fool.

So Ning Zi appeared on the official website of the Turing Award and was ranked first, even though Ning Zi had said that he could not go to receive the award on site.

The result is that the good news is marked in big red letters on the homepage of the University's official website.

"Warmly congratulate Ning Zi from the Department of Mathematics of Yanbei Sports University for winning the 2018 Turing Award. The number of Turing Award winners in our school has increased to two."

The title copy is carefully designed and does not include the words "student", "classmate" or "professor".

After clicking on the title, it becomes even more unrestrained.

For example: "Yanbei Sports University is the only university in China with two Turing Award winners. Its excellent teaching staff has laid a solid foundation for the school to hit the number one position in China and even Asia in the two major disciplines of mathematics and computer science. "

If before 2018, all key universities in the country except Yanbei and Huaqing had a tacit understanding to strive for the third position, then the meaning of the official declaration of the National Sports University is very clear-from now on you can grab the fourth position.

After all, in terms of level, Yanbei University of Physical Education is now also a vice-ministerial university. Therefore, Chen Yonggang was directly on the same level as the principals of Yanbei and Huaqing. It also means that the position of the president of the National Sports University will no longer be determined by the original competent authority, but will be directly under the central government.

So Principal Chen Yonggang, who had been keeping a low profile for a long time some time ago, straightened up again.

Yes, at this time, the president of Physical Education University no longer paid much attention to the two nearby universities.

After all, the Internet has been flooded with the news that a local Chinese scientist won the Turing Award for the first time during this period.

This directly makes countless Chinese netizens’ interest in international science awards follow the Nobel Prize announcement period in October every year. No way, this news is really great. Especially for China, which is undergoing rapid development, the number of international science awards won in the entire scientific research field is extremely inconsistent with the development speed of the entire country.

Therefore, you can often see voices criticizing the existing education model on various self-media. For example, cramming education has caused Chinese children to lose their ability to innovate. As a result, China has not even had a winner of the world's top science award for so many years. Even if there are basically winners, it is only Chinese people and not Chinese people.

But this time, Ning Zi won the Turing Award directly, and by the way, the age of the youngest winner of the Turing Award was set to a point where it is almost impossible to break through. It is indeed worthy of publicity. The media who want to interview Ning Zi have almost closed the door of the National Sports University. Even the central media has sent formal letters, hoping to invite Ning Zi to do a program.

In fact, for Chen Yonggang, he really hopes that Ning Zi can accept interviews from these media.

After all, this is also an excellent way to promote the school.

However, when Ning Zi came here, he was immediately rejected.

The reasons given also left people speechless.

"I am afraid of society, and I don't want to give any interviews until I overcome it."

Social fear is a disease. Any media with some conscience should have a minimum of sympathy and maintain a minimum of respect for patients with social fear, such as not disturbing them.

Although in the eyes of many people, the reason given by Ning Zi made them scoff. Especially for many big bosses who have experienced Ning Jie's disappearance, the unforgettable scars have not yet had time to dissipate.

After all, they had never seen a sociophobic patient who could go through so much trouble that they were almost frightened to the extreme.

But when the media revealed that the world's youngest Turing Award winner from China was socially fearful and therefore unwilling to accept interviews and speak out, most netizens were able to accept this explanation.

In addition to the reason that good-looking people generally don't lie, it's also because even the most sincere and thoughtful netizens can't find a few words from Ning Zi on the Internet.

Whether it's Weibo, Bihu, Moments screenshots, or various large and small forums, there is no trace at all.

It's as if Ning Zi doesn't have accounts on these online social software and platforms at all.

There are only a few videos and photos of Ning Zi circulating on the Internet, and all of them were passively exposed.

In other words, netizens simply cannot tell what kind of person Ning Zi is from the traces he left on the Internet. Even those who claim to be Ning Zi's classmates, neighbors, and teachers cannot give much information about Ning Zi.

The only video of Ning Zi's speech that can be found on the Internet is the speech he read at the freshman ceremony of the National Sports University.

It is obviously a word that can make countless people's blood boil, but when Ning He read it, he gave it almost no emotion, no cadence, and no all kinds of sensationalism. He just used the most peaceful tone without any stumble or pause. After reading it once, someone once jokingly said that this speech has the content of Dragon Ball and the expression of Fu Renzhuan.

The content was ignited to the extreme, and the recitation was even more robotic than a robot.

For such a great scientist, it seems difficult to say whether he is socially fearful or not.

However, netizens who like to dig up old scores, although they could not find a single phrase that Ning Zi once left on the Internet, they finally found out Ning Zi's experience of studying in Huaqing. After all, when Yanbei University assisted in the construction of the Mathematics College of Yanbei University of Physical Education, this incident also left traces on the Internet and was even a hot search topic. It's just that I just published a paper at that time and I haven't officially won an award yet, so although it is on the hot search, the attention is definitely not as high as this time.

So Huaqing University, which has been keeping a low profile for a while and has not made any news, has become a hot search again. In addition, many netizens and self-media have their own fun-loving nature, so the various hot searches and self-media titles are naturally more mean than the last.

"The Turing Award winner who broke the record for the youngest Turing Award in China was once persuaded to quit by Huaqing because..."

"In 2016, Hua Qing looked at Ning Zi: You are not worthy! In 2018, Ning Zi looked at Hua Qing: Who do you think you are?"

"Out of sight: Huaqing misses the opportunity to become a world-class university. Yanbei University of Physical Education may become the biggest winner."

There are even people who directly help Ning Zi think about his future goals in advance: "Ning Zi: My biggest goal in this life is to let Huaqing University merge with Huaqing University."

…

The fact that Ning Zi won the award and became a hot search topic on Huaqing was probably something that most people had never thought of before.

You can also imagine how much trouble this caused to many Huaqing people.

After all, things have been going on for so long, and nothing has been done recently. Huaqing even took the initiative to vote in support of the upgrade of the sports university, but it was inexplicably used as a target again.

Unfortunately, it’s not easy to argue this kind of thing online.

I can't explain to countless netizens on the Internet that the counselor who handled the matter at the time has been fired, and even the department director has been laid off. Really, if you really explain it, God knows how much you will be ridiculed by netizens.

In the end, I could only keep a low profile.

Huaqing originally posted a message on its official website to congratulate Ning Zi for winning the 2018 Turing Award. However, it was directly captured by a big V on Weibo and he expressed his feelings. A bunch of people popped up in the comment area to ridicule Hua Qing and directly made this Weibo hot search. As a result, this news was still deleted after a day of persistence. The school took the initiative to delete it.

After all, for this matter, the school has to advise students on campus not to participate in online discussions, which does seem too aggrieved. Some professors also suggested that the school contact Ning Zi and ask him to come forward and say a few words on the Internet to calm the enthusiasm of netizens, but this suggestion was not adopted.

It is probably a fantasy that someone like Ning Zhi, whom the central media wanted to interview but refused outright on the grounds of social fear, still wants him to help speak out online. As for the school level, it is even more unfeasible to ask the National Sports University to give suggestions.

After the last incident of Ning Zi sneaking away, who still doesn’t know what the current situation is inside the university? If Ning Zi had any requests to ask Chen Yonggang, the school would definitely take them seriously. As for what the school has in mind for Ning Zi to cooperate... it probably depends on Ning's mood.

If you are in a good mood, please cooperate. If you are in a bad mood, you can just casually say, "You go or shall I go?"

So there is only one best way, to remain silent.

Anyway, the memory of the Internet is only seven days... After seven days, everyone will chase the next hot spot, and this matter will be almost forgotten.

Within the larger framework of the school, there is obviously no problem in handling it this way.

Ignore or respond, wait for the heat to dissipate.

But for some specific people, this kind of hot search is cruel.

Duan Fei is already in her junior year. If she wants to obtain the postgraduate qualification, she has reached the stage where she needs to contact her tutor. Originally, she had been in contact with a professional tutor before, and she planned to start reviewing based on the topic studied by the tutor. Then in the past few days, she suddenly received a message from the tutor asking how many times she had studied. After explaining the situation, he declined her directly.

The reason given is that his graduate student quota for next year will be used up early...

Okay, perfect reason.

I was thinking about changing to a tutor. After all, I had my undergraduate degree in Huaqing, and generally I want someone who can guarantee graduate school at this school.

But unexpectedly, the counselor talked to her once. Use a vague expression to express that if you want to secure a graduate school, you can look wider and stop focusing on this school. You can take advantage of the summer vacation between your junior and senior years to quickly apply for a school of your choice - such as a top-notch school in other cities. University summer camp...

The hint was obvious, and it was well-intentioned. Duan Fei also instantly understood the reason why she had been rejected one after another when contacting her tutor recently.

This also made Duan Fei explode in an instant, complaining aggrievedly: "Teacher Zhuo? You mean that the incident has not passed yet, right? I have already apologized to Ning Zi, what else does he want? He is still putting pressure on the school?"

These words also shocked the counselor, and he scolded in a low voice: "What are you talking about? What happened to Guan Ningjie? He probably doesn't even remember you. Why don't you think that the instructors may have concerns? After all, you are away from home." So close..."

Unable to speak more clearly, the less experienced counselor finally just gave advice: "Anyway, I am just a suggestion. If you think you still want to try, I am very supportive. Anyway, keep going. "

After saying that, he shook his head and left, leaving Duan Fei alone in a daze...

…

After the start of school, the entire March passed with the news that Ning Zi had won the Turing Award. Although there was a wave of popularity, just as Huaqing predicted for the online popularity, it dissipated within one or two weeks.

But all that dissipated was the popularity on the Internet.

Especially as the annual admissions season approaches, after a year of preparation, Yanbei University of Physical Education has organized a strong admissions team and begun to travel across the country, even participating in national-level Olympiads, and began to directly follow Yanbei University. Huaqing robs people.

At least in the two directions of mathematics and computer science, the admissions teachers of the current sports university can really be said to be worthy of everyone.

"Hello, classmate, I am Teacher Wang from Yanbei Sports University. Congratulations on winning the gold medal in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition this year. Have you chosen a school? What? Are you going to sign with Huaqing? Oh my god, it's 2018. Why would you choose Huaqing for such a good prospect? Are you worthy? Think about it, Ning Zi knows, right? I won’t talk about it after winning the Turing Award. You should be able to publish three top mathematics journals directly. Did you find it online? If you do this, you will be persuaded to quit by Hua Qing, think about it!"

…

"Yes, the Huaqing Mathematics Department seems to be quite strong now, but students, think about it, what are the challenges of going there? Ning Zi, you know, right? The Turing Award winner is from our school, and he will also win the Fields Medal soon. ! Conan Lamar knows, right? Turing Award winner and a full-time professor in our school. You know that the deputy director of our mathematics department is Academician Lu Zhengyue, right?"

…

"By the way, have you seen the video of Ning Zi's speech last year? Yes. If you have seen it, you should know what the goal of our sports university is! Let me tell you, Yanbei University of Sports is the number one university in China in the future. , Huaqing and Yanbei are all trampled under their feet. When you go to Huaqing, you are just an ordinary student among the many students. But when you come to Yanbei University of Physical Education, you will participate with us in witnessing the miracle of the rise of Yanbei University of Physical Education. , and you are one of the miracles, isn’t this more worth looking forward to than going to Huaqing and doing nothing for four years?”

…

"What I said just now is all false. Let's talk about something real. Did you know that our Yanbei University of Sports, Youwei Group and Apple have signed agreements? These two Fortune 500 companies will give gifts every year in the future graduation season. Our Yanbei University of Sports has reserved a certain quota for special recruitment. What is the concept? When others cannot submit your resume, you can just get on the bus. Not to mention that we are about to build the most advanced large-scale chip R\u0026D center in Asia."

…

"This is the world's leading and most comprehensive R\u0026D center, with hardware, software, materials, supporting equipment, production... all aspects are covered! In the future, if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination or study for a Ph.D., you will have the opportunity to learn from the top teachers in the industry, using all the The world's top laboratory equipment and instruments. Not to mention the supercomputing center that Youwei Group is building for the school, its performance directly beats Yanbei and Huaqing."

…

"What? You still want to think about it? The teacher from Yanbei University has also approached you? My child, listen to Teacher Wang's advice, you are really delaying yourself by going to Yanbei University. You don't want to ask around, now the master's degree from Yanbei University Ph.D. students, you have to come to our Yanbei University of Physical Education every Friday to attend classes. It’s not free. One class costs four thousand yuan per person! No discount! Don’t believe it? No problem, you still have to stay in the capital. How many days? I’ll take you to see it this Friday and experience it and you’ll find out!”

…

It is no exaggeration to say that this set of rhetoric is really enough to make many young students become confused.

In particular, the University of Sports also secretly opens the Administrative Building of the University every Friday. Admissions teachers can take visiting children to see Yanbei University's buses, pass by the classrooms of the school's mathematics department, and even drive with these The children watched with their own eyes. After class, the bus took a group of senior students back to Yanbei University.

The effect is also very obvious.

Teachers in the admissions teams across the country at Huaqing and Yanbei universities found that their work was a bit difficult.

Especially in the fields of mathematics and computer science that the university currently focuses on promoting.

In the past, Huaqing and Yanbei only had to guard against each other, but this year Yanbei University's strong entry has directly caused a great impact. At least a dozen contestants from each of the two schools who were basically determined to sign contracts with the two schools were intercepted by the university.

Not to mention that the admissions team of the National Sports University has also begun to contact key high schools at all levels in various cities in an orderly manner, to find out the key students in various cities across the country, and in the name of the admissions team of the National Sports University, it has begun to actively hold information sessions in these key high schools.

Of course, the content of the briefing was completely inaccessible to the admissions teams of the two top Chinese schools. Basically, it continues the style of the admissions teacher of the National Sports University. Although the words are more artistic, if you look closely, you will find that no matter how you modify the words, you still can't change the communication skills. Basically, they are stepping on the footsteps of Huaqing and Peking University. From a top university...

So in this spring season, as the top university in China, the admissions teachers of Yanbei University finally couldn't bear it anymore after their promising students were snatched away and ridiculed.

I can't help it, it's too irritating.

Especially for the admissions team in Nanhu Province.

A dozen good prospects they were observing were directly signed away by the University in advance.

Forget it, the National Sports University also snatched away the only child from Nanhu Province who participated in the World Olympiad Mathematics Competition last year and got full marks. After nearly half a year of hard work, Yanbei University finally agreed that the child would go to Yanbei and give up his undergraduate degree to study abroad. The final step was just to sign the contract.

As a result, the admissions teacher of the University of Physical Education directly took the child to Yanbei University of Physical Education and let the child take a class in the classroom of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Physical Education with doctoral students from the School of Mathematics of Yanbei University and the International Mathematics Research Center. After taking the course, and even providing the payment receipt from Yanbei University to the Department of Mathematics of the University of Physical Education, my world view was probably subverted, and I directly signed a contract with the Department of Mathematics of the University of Physical Education to study for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree.

So, after learning the news, the Weibo-certified Yanbei Nanhu Admissions Team account directly posted a Weibo message: “Students, please keep your eyes open and don’t be deceived by the recent upstart temperament of a certain university. The teaching level of a mature department, especially the teaching level of undergraduate majors, requires time and accumulation of experience. It has never been something that a certain expert or two professors can support."

To netizens who don’t understand the situation, Weibo may seem incomprehensible, but to insiders it is particularly pointed.

Although Yanbei University and Huaqing University have had cordial interactions on Weibo, Yanbei University obviously will not attach the title of "upstart" to Huaqing University. After all, when it comes to history, the two families are actually very similar, within a few years.

So soon some knowledgeable netizens began to popularize science on this Weibo post. The "upstart" here refers to Yanbei Sports University. This comment was directly liked by the author and pinned to the top.

The sudden excitement made many netizens unable to sit still and started posting @Yanbei Sports University on Weibo.

But obviously, the official Weibo will definitely not pay attention to this kind of Weibo posted by a provincial admissions team of Yanbei University. But not long after, the system showed that the official account of the Nanhu Provincial Admissions Team of Yanbei Sports University, which had just been certified by the big V for less than two hours, responded directly.

However, this time the response given by the admissions team of Nanhu Province of Yanbei Sports University was not only written in words, but also accompanied by pictures and texts.

"Speaking of being able to become a nouveau riche, we have to thank @School of Mathematics of Yanbei University for paying tuition fees to the Department of Mathematics of Physical Education University on time every month. Four thousand yuan per class for tutoring is not a small amount for one person. It is enough for us. The Mathematics Department of National Sports University can fill up various scholarships for future students. @Yanbei University Nanhu Admissions Team, what do you think?”

Below this passage is a picture of a nine-square grid.

Surrounded by eight vouchers for payment of course fees for doctoral students by the School of Mathematics at Yanbei University, the middle photo is of a bus parked in front of the administrative building of Yanbei University of Physical Education. The name of Yanbei University is clearly printed on the bus. name and school badge.

This is……

The fight started...

This also made countless netizens instantly flock to Weibo to watch.

This time, netizens who did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement began to repost and like it one after another, and by the way, they helped the sports university. @Yanbei University related Weibo.

But the most exaggerated thing on the Internet happened again.

The two universities that were quarreling had not yet had time to be on the trending search. Huaqing University, which had done nothing, was on the trending search first, and the hot search keywords were particularly funny. Qing University # .

Yes, after countless netizens saw the bickering between the admissions team of Yanbei University and the admissions team of Yanbei University of Physical Education on Weibo, they spontaneously went to the official Weibo of Huaqing University and started going crazy @, and leave a message.

" @Huaqing University, I really don't want to stir up trouble. The Yanbei admissions team was quarreling with the school's admissions team, but it wasn't you who they came to find? Doesn't this mean that you are not being taken seriously?"

" @Huaqing University Admissions Office, please respond quickly, otherwise everyone will mistakenly think that the most powerful universities in China in the future are Yanbei University and Yanbei University of Physical Education, and you will be ignored!"

" @Huaqing University, can you continue to remain silent? Are you really going to admit that you have been surpassed by @Yanbei Sports University?"

" @Huaqing University and Yanbei University can fight with Yanbei University of Sports, but there is no figure of Huaqing University. As a melon-eater, I really can't bear it! Support Huaqing, hurry up Rise up!"

" @Huaqing University, hey, the atmosphere has been heightened to this point. If you don't say anything, all Chinese netizens can't agree. Could it be that in the future, Chinese universities will be divided into Yanbei, Yanti and others? College?"

" @Huaqing University, I'm so angry! The two schools next door to your home are quarreling, and you just ignore it? Is this your style? Come on, everyone is looking forward to it, let's fight!"

"This is not @Huaqing University in my mind, please stand up, please!"

…

When the comment area was occupied by countless fun-loving netizens, Huaqing University’s official Weibo, which had remained silent, finally took action.

He did not express his opinion or even update his Weibo. He just silently closed the comment area of ​​his official Weibo...

The general meaning of the expression is that I see everyone’s opinions and I understand your mood, but please stop making trouble, I want to be quiet...

Of course, this attitude is probably understandable.

It was obviously a quarrel between Yanbei University and Yanbei Sports University, but I did nothing but became a hot search topic. Isn’t this pot a bit unclear? Is it wrong if I don’t do anything? Am I rising? Who should I rise up with? Are you scolding Yanbei or Yanbei Sports University?

Can I still be a human being? !

Anyone else would probably be stunned by this feeling of being lying down. After all, this matter really goes against the basic laws of communication.

Even a professor from the School of Communication of a certain university seriously commented on Weibo that the Huaqing incident that was trending for no reason was worthy of being regarded as a classic communication case and included in textbooks for research.

Um……

What should I say...

At the end of the matter, the two rightful owners didn't know how to continue the quarrel.

After all, a normal quarrel should be about watching the excitement, and then constantly instigating and adding fuel to the fire, making both parties extremely angry, and only then can they have the passion to continue the quarrel.

Now the two sides are quarreling, and everyone goes to the third house to watch the excitement. On the contrary, the quarrel side has lost much popularity. But the third party was very calm and didn't say a word, which is very uncomfortable.

Although whether it is Yanbei University or Yanbei University of Physical Education, they actually don’t care much about what Huaqing feels like.

But the three schools are still too close to each other. If you quarrel over work, that is, if you receive criticism, it is not easy to offend someone to death...

Anyway, I don’t know how the last three schools communicated.

First, the Nanhu Admissions Team of Yanbei University silently deleted its Weibo.

Subsequently, Yanbei Sports University also deleted its Weibo, but posted another pinned Weibo promoting the school. About the investment of Youwei Group and Apple, about the school’s upgrade to a vice-ministerial university, about the school’s laboratory construction and future development direction...

Obviously, Yanbei University has won this time. After all, Yanbei University no longer needs to do more publicity. Everyone in China is already well-known. However, for Yanbei University of Sports, this is a rare publicity opportunity. Because everyone has remembered that what the Huaqing admissions team failed to do this time, Yanbei Sports University did.

Doesn't this prove the strength of Yanbei University from one side?

Not to mention a newly emerging school like Yanbei University of Physical Education, the score line will definitely not be as exaggerated as that of Yanbei University and Huaqing University.

For countless high school seniors this year, this is an opportunity!

Thus, a hot Internet event in which Yanbei University won a big victory, Yanbei University lost a small amount, and Huaqing University lost a big deal passed inexplicably...

Of course, the open and covert competition for outstanding students offline is even more intense.

…

Ning Zi didn't pay attention to these things on the Internet.

Didn't even care at all.

Whether it was enrollment or college construction, he never worried about it. In this regard, Chen Yonggang and his team are professional.

Regardless of whether it is recruiting students or recruiting people, Ning Zi's biggest role now is to be a living sign.

More importantly, as June approaches, Ning Zi's attention is more or less attracted by the upcoming International Congress of Mathematicians.

The World Congress of Mathematicians is held every four years, so the list of invited speakers has been announced at this time. Ning Zi and Dominette Duncan are both guests invited to speak at this conference.

And both of them have to give a one-hour presentation. Originally, Ning Zi was scheduled to be in the morning after the award ceremony, and Dominette Duncan was scheduled to be in the afternoon. However, after communication in March, the organizing committee agreed to swap the order of their lectures.

After all, what Ning Zi announced at the meeting was relatively big, and there were too many variables in the subsequent reactions of all parties. Even the reactions of all parties could not be predicted in March. In other words, God knows after this is exposed, when everyone reacts, whether Dominic Duncan will be allowed to return to China to be his exchange professor.

From this point of view, March still values ​​​​the writer Dominic Duncan very much.

So Ning Zi also took on the task of persuading Dominique Duncan to give up the remaining week of the conference to communicate with his colleagues and go back to China with him directly.

In fact, Ning Zi was not good at this kind of thing and wanted to leave it to Yue Yue to fool him.

But what is helpless is that she is in China now. When it comes to such an important matter, it is difficult to refuse an interview.

At this time, the limitations of March come out...

Although kittens are indeed cute, if they communicate face-to-face with people, it will be easy for people to not distinguish who is the pet, and even scare people silly.

Moreover, this matter has been delayed for a long time, and it is indeed time to unify our thoughts.

The interview was also scheduled in the afternoon.

…

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Dominette Duncan took time to come to Ning Zi's office in the administration building.

It may be unimaginable in other schools for students to have offices, but it is obviously normal at the National Sports University.

After all, even if Ning Zi wanted to live in the student dormitory, no one from top to bottom would agree, and the pressure would be too great.

Dominette Duncan, who came to see Ning Ju, behaved very casually, even getting himself a glass of water as soon as he entered the door.

The two have been in contact for almost a year, especially since they often discuss math problems together. They are already very familiar with each other. For example, Dominic knows very well that he cannot expect Ning Zi to take the initiative to ask him if he needs water, otherwise he will always be thirsty. With.

After finishing a glass of water, Dominette Duncan said directly: "Ning, I don't quite understand what you think. You should know that when mathematics reaches our level, we can no longer make progress by working behind closed doors. Extensive Communication can broaden your mind. You should take this opportunity to spread your mathematical ideas and let more people understand your mathematical ideas, and their insights may give you unexpected inspiration and inspiration. Instead of just sitting around every day In your office.”

Obviously, Dominic Duncan was extremely dissatisfied with Ning Zi's request to leave the World Congress of Mathematicians directly after delivering a report on the first day.

Of course, what he said is actually correct.

Even without reaching their level, for most mathematicians, at the doctoral level, communication with peers will yield unexpected gains.

An overly abstract thinking mode is doomed to have flashes of inspiration many times, which is even more efficient than sitting at a desk and studying hard.

Fortunately, Ning Zi did not intend to convince Dominic Duncan from the perspective of right or wrong, but said seriously: "You are right, I am already thinking of ways to invite more mathematicians to carry out our work. But If you still want to continue our cooperation, I hope you can accept my suggestion."

This is obviously not a satisfactory explanation.

It was also difficult for Dominette Duncan to accept: "But why? There has to be a reason. Are you resisting communicating with others? Or I can introduce you to a few friends. They are all very insightful mathematicians. We can Range party.”

Ning Zi thought for a while and said: "You will understand after the meeting. But now I still hope you can accept my suggestion. It's like every mathematical problem we have argued about since you came to China until now has been proved in the end I'm right, so I hope you trust me as much as you trust my mathematical intuition."

The extremely simple and crude persuasion work made Dominette Duncan suddenly not know what to say.

It was a bit shameful, but Dominette Duncan couldn't deny it.

The mathematical problems that allowed the two of them to argue were naturally extremely difficult, and they were definitely not Ning Zi's current research field. After all, Dominic Duncan only dared to discuss the mathematical methods that Ning Zi was researching and did not dare to dispute them at all.

In fact, these questions were all encountered by Ning Zi when answering questions for doctoral students at Yanbei University in mathematics class every Friday, and they happened to be related issues that Dominette Duncan was also concerned about.

Yes, Dominic Duncan will also participate in the math class every Friday. He is not afraid of not being able to understand in Chinese, because there will be someone around to help him translate. Many times, in order to take care of his and Conan's feelings, he would answer directly in English.

Therefore, he often feels that there are some mistakes in these propositions that Ning Zi has not touched before, and then there is a debate.

Ning Zi would always deduce the content of the dispute between the two of them as quickly as possible in this office, and then leave him speechless.

"Ning Zi, are you so confident in yourself?"

"In fact, if you still have a normal mindset, I think you should have more confidence in me."

Well, at this point, Dominic Duncan knows he made a mistake.

He was full of confidence that he could use his sharp tongue to make Ning Zi change his mind when they were face to face, but he didn't expect that Ning Zi would not be given a chance to perform at all if he directly reduced her strength to ten.

After thinking for a moment, Dominic finally nodded and reluctantly accepted Ning Zi's explanation.

"Okay, but Ning, I reserve my opinion. You should go out and communicate more."

"From a benefit perspective, I think more people should communicate with me."

"I agree with that. Forget it, bye!"

…

After leaving Ning Zi's office, Dominette Duncan did not go back directly to continue sorting out those mathematical propositions, but directly found his friend Professor Lamar in school.

No way, there are not many foreign professors at the University of Physical Education. The two of them would often get together to drink and chat, and they became good friends after going back and forth.

At this time, he planned to complain to Lamar about Ning Zi's arbitrary behavior.

In Conan Lamar's office, Dominette Duncan cut off the communication between the two and artistically modified it, then complained loudly: "I really don't understand, Conan. Why does Ning have to leave on the same day as this grand gathering of mathematicians that is held every four years? Does he really feel that there is no one in the world worth listening to? "

After quietly listening to Dominette Duncan's complaints, the computer scientist who had already decided not to attend the conference despite receiving the invitation fell into deep thought. Then he asked seriously: "Ning is sure that he will attend this conference?" Did you report the contents?”

When Dominette Duncan heard this question, he was stunned, frowned and asked: "I don't know, I didn't pay attention, it should be about the NS equation, right? But what does it matter?"

Conan Lamar glanced at the talented mathematician and suggested sincerely: "Do you know why I refused to participate in this meeting? Forget it, I suggest you listen to Ning...trust me..."

"oh?"
